Ritual
The Perfect Pour
Two ounces. One cube. The ritual that separates a drink from an experience.
The pour is not a measurement. It is a decision. Two ounces of a 12-year single barrel, over a single two-inch cube of clear ice, in a crystal rocks glass that has been rinsed with cold water. This is not a recipe. It is a philosophy.
